Days after photos of Prats and Oli were posted on the actor's Instagram account, Prats confessed that he has indeed a crush on the actress and that they have been hanging out with friends.

"Sana soon, hindi ba? Kaya nakikita niyo 'yung mga pictures, may kumukuha, 'yung mga friends namin. Fan ako, whenever I'm with her I'm a fan. Fan ako ng ganda niya sobra lang akong name-mesmerize," Prats said in an interview with "The Buzz" that aired on Sunday.

"Si Isabel naman talaga 'yung babaeng nagagandahan ako, talagang sobra. When it comes to attraction ay talagang attracted talaga ako sa kanya. So far lumalabas kami pero we are always with a group. Nage-enjoy ako sa company niya wala akong masabi," he added.

Asked if he would soon court Oli, Prats said: "Hindi kasi ako nanliligaw. I hate that word kasi parang it's always best foot forward. But siguro maganda kasi magsisimula kami sa magkaibigan at kung ano ang mas hihigit pa doon eh mas ikakatuwa ko talaga."

Meanwhile, Prats reiterated that he sees nothing wrong if his best friend Sam Milby pursues actress Shaina Magdayao, who is Prats' ex-girlfriend.

"'Yung friendship naman namin ni Sam ay hindi lang kami magkaibigan, magkapatid. At na-appreciate ko 'yung gesture na kinausap niya ako at totoo 'yung sinabi niya sa akin na 'if hindi ka papayag, bro, I wont do it.' Sino ba naman ako para pigilan yung puso niya? At matagal na din naman 'yon (sa amin ni Shaina)," Prats said.
